She probably would have chances now - even the first time I faced c3 I didnt lose THAT badly. I expect she is reading up new theory right this moment.

At least. To be honest I disliked that guy also before that game, but now I really hate him and I`m really glad that he has been spanked by our talanted youngsters - Kristaps Kalnins and Toms Kantans 😠

I bet he was a judas and refused to analyse the game as well.

Actually I did not ask him for that - I was horribly tired and really angry.

Well good luck to both of you.
Used your c3 win on the latest Corner.

You did not read of my previous posts yesterday😛

"Tomorrow [today] will be C tournament (with time control 10 min + 3 sec) and last 2 games will be on Sunday. In 8th round I will play with Aleksandrs Smirnovs (ELO 2045) which I should win. But I must not be overconfident because that guy managed to draw with GM Janis Klovans in 1st round."


With Neil Berry in next round (which is not tomorrow but in Sunday) is playing another Kristaps - Kristaps Kalnins. So change your desinformation in your Chandler Cornered until it`s not too late 😛

In 8th round was another very tiresome 70+ move game which I`m too lazy to post and in which I did not win winning endgame - draw 🙁

In 9th round I`ve played with un(ELO)rated player one of my the worst games in last years. In 8th move i did blunder piece and resigned.

[Round "9"]
[Result "1-0"]
[White "Pavels Besedins"]

1. e4 b6 2. d4 Bb7 3. Nc3 Bb7 4. Nf3 Bb4 5. Bd3 Nf6 6. e5 Ne4
7. Bxe4 Bxe4 8. 0-0 0-0
1-0


In overall it was real fail for me (3,5/9) and shows that CC and blitz does not compensate lack of OTB practice.

Its stamina of course (my physical condition is really horrible) but its OTB practice what helps you adapt to these circumstances and get stamina you need.
